Lisa picked up the datadisc reader and showed Brammers.
“The History of Land’s End Radio?” Queried Brammers.
“Opps sorry Sir, that’s my current Ceres disc reading material”. Lisa picked up the 2nd datadisc reader and swapped the reader with the one Brammers had in his hand.

If you look at the message, there is a small space between each group of numbers, and also a larger space, which should had given you a clue. The larger space was a word seperator, and the smaller one a letter seperator.
Also the clue in chapter one. Wraith Shadowfall actually read this out on the vent server, and he was almost going in the right direction.
This was a clue to how I coded the messages up. The sentence that was supposed to give the clue was:-Lisa picked up the datadisc reader and showed Brammers.

If my history is correct, this radio station has just closed down, and was the last to use the 500kHz frequency, which is used to transmit and recieve morse code.
Now all I did was take a message, translate the message into Morse. Change the dashes to 1's and dots to 0's. Any spaces between words I put 3 spaces in. So for example, my name Lisa Merlins becomes.
- Code: Select all
.-.. .. ... .- / -- . .-. .-.. .. -. ...
Then it becomes in binary
- Code: Select all
0100 00 000 01 / 11 0 010 0100 00 10 000
Change the word spaces to three spaces.
- Code: Select all
0100 00 000 01 11 0 010 0100 00 10 000
I used the Morse translator on this web page. http://www.scphillips.com/morse/index.html
Now I'll admit I wasn't expecting the winner to crack the code in the way that he did. When he got hold of me on the phone, he said he was going to use Frequency Analysis to crack it I knew it could be very easily broken. Some letters in the English alphabet are used a lot, such as the letter E. So you look for the most repeated binary code and and that becomes E. You do this for each letter until you start seeing words. The rest should fall into place. It was the last method I was expecting to be used.
So well done Katherine Mayer, and shame on you Angels for letting City Admin beat you in the war of code cracking.
There is about 10 chapters left of the story to go... Will the Angels successfully attack the Dome? Will City Admin build a Neutron Bomb? And what will happen to our hero's Sedna and Morpheous at Gravis, who are in the hands of the evil City Admin. And can they rescue Lisa?
...To be continued.
